The sound of a collision woke the mare with a start. Snorting softly to herself, Maibe realized how silly she was. The female noticed another being shaking her head nearby, though why was a mystery. It seemed she'd missed something interesting (maybe?), but she went ridged as the female spotted her. Swallowing hard, the Arabian shifted her weight uncomfortably from hoof to hoof as she watched her approach with bright blue eyes.

“Hello!” Maibe nodded in greeting, her voice caught in her throat. The female noticed the deep blue hue of the other mare's coat and, for a moment, was tempted to make a friend. She was pretty, that much Maibe could tell. She'd grown up around beauty, but had never really been considered beautiful herself. The thought made her snort once more. No, she didn't want to be beautiful. Too much attention.

The mare apologized for waking Maibe, though it was long forgotten by then. Instead, the Arabian gritted her teeth, unsure of herself. Looking off into the distance, the mare took a shaky breath. “It's fine.” Her voice shook slightly, though that could have been attributed to the chill in the air. Maibe took the chance to give the other female a quick glance out of the corner of her eye before snapping her gaze back into the distance.

When it became clear that the other maiden really didn't mean any harm, Maibe finally allowed herself to relax. A heavy sigh escaped her lungs as she made eye contact with the female. “I wouldn't mind the company....I've been alone for awhile.” Maibe's voice was soft and almost inaudible. Shifting her weight uneasily, her social issues were glaringly obvious. All those years of being outcast certainly hadn't done her any favors. The Arabian moved her eyes again, not really settling them on any one thing.

Maibe allowed her golden ears to swivel around her skull to keep track of the other being. She was being silly, she knew. Yet it was so hard to let her guard down. Who knew what cruel things this stranger would utter? The Dun wasn't ready to be fully trusting of this maiden, though being friendly wasn't beneath her either. Another awkward glance was sent the cobalt unicorn's way as she waited for speech. Maibe wasn't going to initiate a conversation. She'd wait all day, silently watching if she had too.
